Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's getting on for midnight, so we can proceed with a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. (Any question received after then will not get an answer, and will likely just be deleted.) If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 143,916th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.0 of The Magic Monday FAQ here.

I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use the button above to access my online tip jar. If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here. 

 

I've also had quite a few people over the years ask me where they should buy my books, and here's the answer. Bookshop.org is an alternative online bookstore that supports local bookstores and authors, which a certain other gargantuan corporation doesn't, and I now have a shop there, which you can check out here. Please consider patronizing it if you'd like to purchase any of my books online. 

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

With that said, have at it!

***This Magic Monday is now closed. See you next week!***

This is why I am asking (and I see that you’ve side stepped the question, which is your right, of course). I once met someone who came from a lineage of Onmyodo practicioners and it was his first experience of magical practice— and though he is still involved in esoteric activities of a different sort, it was clear he wouldn’t touch Onmyodo again with a ten foot barge pole. The state of the art seems to have been corrupted, with practitioners who engage in a lot of cursing (hence his distaste for it). Although I don’t know in any detail. Later that day, I idly said to my wife “once my Japanese improves sufficiently, wouldn’t it be interesting to study Onmyodo”— and exactly at that moment, as I spoke that sentence, was the one and only time that a fly just up and flew into my mouth in the sixteen years I’ve been in Japan, and I coughed and coughed to get it out. That was a message if I’ve ever seen one. It’s clear that regardless of the accuracy of any speculations about Onmyodo’s current state, the barriers to entry extend well beyond the material. This is why I was asking; I’m interested in how and why you would know these kinds of details at all.
